    I just can't believe this - please read!!!!!

    Today, I have posted this picture of Lily in another thread:



    I just had opened the thread to reply, but left the room first to get me a coffee. I had that picture on the screen.

    When I came back, I found Lily on her chair, paralized, the fur on her back standing high in the air. She was staring at the computer monitor.

    First I did not think it was that picture, because I thought a cat's eye can't make a complete picture out of pixels and even if it does, the picture wouldn't make any sense to the cat. I thought maybe there was an insect behind the computer or something that got her startled.

    I scrolled the picture up and down and Lily followed it with her eyes, then she kept staring at it.

    I picked her up and took her to the computer, where she sniffed the picture very carefully. At this point, her tail was all "fluffy"! She then began to check the monitor from all sides, looking for the cat inside. I swear, it was very, very obvious that she could recognize there was a cat on that picture and obviously she felt threatened by it - maybe due to the open mouth in the picture.

    Now... is this a normal reaction or do I have a little genius here? :lol

    Lily, is so funny!!!
    My sister's cat loves to watch tv especially magazines like "Animals are looking for a new home"...she's nearly hypnotized and she loves to visit those sites at the internet, too...very strange reaction...
    As for watching tv, when the cat dissapears from the screen she runs to the back of the tv set to look where it is gone to...too funny!!!

    Nellie couldn't ever care less...

    My cat Justice loves to "chase" the mouse/cursor on the monitor. Of course I have a bunch of kitty prints afterwards, but well worth the amusement!

    Lol, my cats have done that with the mirror. They say they're not supposed to be able to see images like that, but I think they can.

    Ahhh, how sweet! Never showed mine any cats on tv, and Luna wouldn't care anyway. But they both react very much to cat voices from the computer (like this christmas song sung by cats that's been posted here).

    BTW, when I had this thread up, I showed the picture to Lily again. She was sitting about two meters away, in the window sill, but immediately came to sniff the picture again. But when she discovered it's not doing any harm, she lost interest.

    CatFancy33, Lily also does that. Luna did that as a kitten, but then lost interest. When she was younger, she also loved animated gifs!

    Tonya, I also heard they say that, but all these experiences prove that they can!
    When my RB Katz once saw herself in a mirror, she looked for the cat behind it.

    That's funny.

    Jazz watches cats and other animals on TV but I've never been able to get her see anything on my computer monitor.

    Pouncer loves to play with images on the screen, though I've never seen him react to any indivdual image. Allen couldn't care less about anything to do with the computer.

    I would have been runnign to get my camera to photograph that !!! Then she would have really been freeked out to see two cats fighting!

    Pouncer says: You are such a marvelous girlie! Make sure your meowmie shows you my picture - I'd like to know what your reactin is! Meeeooooowww!

    both Bernie & Squeak love to watch TV. & Everytime Squeak came into the computer room, she'd stare hard @ our BLACK CAT Calendar.

    Kirsten,

    You need to get Lily a copy of CyberPounce

    Debbie (Tubby & Peanuts Mom) shipped me the CD over..bless you Debbie.

    Although several of my cats seem interested in it, Bramble insists (READ Sitting in front of the monitor until I give up..sigh) on playing with Cyber Pounce for 10 minutes before I can get on my computer.

    In fact I sometimes leave my computer playing Cyber Pounce whilst I go to work, just for her...Don't tell Steve
